Almost Famous

SPOILERS Pretty freaking solid, not the level of quality I expected. Extremely good, the dialogue in the plane scene was freaking cinema. Very dialogue centered movie which I absolutely love. Cast is actually insane how many names are in this movie. "Isn’t it funny? The truth just sounds different" – Penny Lane Plot 8.9/10 Really cool idea, like this kid who loves music and writing somehow gets on the rode with Stillwater and learns all the drama that comes with it. Learns the ends and outs of literally everything that goes on in rock n roll. Such a well structured story to add on top of everything, really solid pacing with the parts you need to know felt so perfectly timed. Lost me a little bit in the middle but nothing too bad. "I’m telling secrets to the one guy you don’t tell secrets to" – Russell Hammond Characters/Acting 9.2/10 I wish I had an ounce of the swagger that Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) had in this movie, such a sick character. Penny Lane (Kate Hudson) is such a queen in this not going to lie, absolutely loved her performance and character. William (Patrick Fugit) was an interestingly written character he's a reporter/journalist but he is 15 and lives with his mom still kind of, such an intriguing storyline super well done. "Good-looking people don’t have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we’re smarter" – Lester Bangs Style/Filming 9.4/10 Mad vibes, exactly the tone I expected coming into this and freaking loved it. Definitely gives you that vintage feel of old rock and its wonderful. The costume designer went nuts here so freaking good. "From here on out, I am only interested in what is real. Real people, real feelings, that’s it, that’s all I’m interested in" – Russell Hammond Ending 9.5/10 Holy genius play by Penny by making Russell think he is going to see her but finds out he actually ended up at Williams house, really didn't see that coming and it ended so freaking well. Emotionally brilliant when Penny is leaving on the plane and you see her true feelings for William and now she's gone. "Can we just skip the vibe, and go straight to us laughing about this?" – Russell Hammond Overall 9.5/10 One of the best movies I've seen in the last few months, highly recommend if you like dialogue, romance, wild moments, crazy people and a vibe.
